Just to be clear, we are:

* changing all module's doctest file path to use relative paths (with
respect to the module's location),
* replacing the run_doctest() import with a simpler doctest import and
`doctest.testmod()` in each module having this doctest
* resorting to setUp and tearDown in the DocTestSuite in
`run_tests.py` so that each module / submodule can find their test
files
* and refactoring all string functions in Bio._utils to Bio.Phylo and
Bio.SearchIO, so that we can remove Bio._utils,

right?

I'd be happy to give this a shot if everyone feels the same :).

Regards,
Bow
